Abortion Case in Texas - court allowed, court blocked
-
Cases like these are going to be a drag on the GOP nationwide. As well they should be.
-
I'd rather be right in God's eyes, than wrong in man's.
-
I'd rather people who say they are Christian would show some human compassion rather than acting like ideologues. This poor woman is being put through needless additional suffering in what is already a terrible situation for her.
As is the unborn child they claim to care so much about.
-
Texas law allows someone to sue you for doing so or for assisting someone to. I suspect that makes it more difficult to get an abortion in another adjoining state. Providers may be hesitant to get involved. I believe Oklahoma's law is about the same as Texas. not sure about Louisiana.

She’d probably have to drive two days from Dallas to find a state that allowed abortion at 20 weeks.
Also there are likely insurance issues involved.

The people who are Christian commit money, blood, sweat and tears to those things they believe in. There is a lot of love and compassion out there, if you wish to see it.
I'm the original poster on this case, predating this thread by several days. This is a very hard choice. As George noted in the other thread, the prognosis for this baby is grim. Hence, the first ruling.
From a political viewpoint rather than a personal theological one, this type of case does pose problems for pro life people. But, what is the greater good?
Is it Jon's observation that abortion cases are political anathema for the GOP? Or can the GOP successfully point out that many states have what the rest of the world would consider some of the most liberal abortion laws in the world. -
The pro choice side is literally undefeated in ballot initiatives since Dobbs.

That's right, 7 States in all.
Apparently the other 43 states haven't had a problem with Dobbs.
But I have to admit the baby killers have done a great job getting out the message about the unbeaten streak.

Many are being planned for 2024 to GOTV.
Straight out of Rove’s 2004 playbook, with him it was marriage referenda.

Respecting and facilitating the woman’s decision to terminate this pregnancy sooner rather than later for the sound medical and personal reasons presented before the courts.
The greater good is served by recognizing her choice. It is not served by meddling in her personal health matters.

Personal health is important.
That includes the personal health of the baby.
Her choice happened when she dropped her trousers.
The baby hasn't made any choices yet.
We can discuss rape if we have to, but that is a small subset, about 1% of pregnancies I believe.

So you’ve decided the choices for everyone.
Got it. Case closed. No point in any further discussion.
Copper himself has decided the issue! This calls for a Te Deum to be sung.

From whence is your morality and authority?
